ultimate backyard rc track

[matt duarte]

ok well we used to have a 50 dirt bike track in my brother inlaws back yard, and since our buddy that had a rc track in there back yard have to move we decided to turn the 50 track into a rc track for our slashes... we have a lot of room to work with and had plenty of dirt to move....heres the start of the carnage to come

You guys suck for not hitting me up!
Hiding in the woods playing with your cars no doubt.
I could fly my heli right there. Plenty of room!
I'll put a camera in it and do live action feed of the race

Looks like a killer 1/8th nitro buggy track

Matt, I don't like you very much anymore either:Envious:

Very cool toys and track:mad:

[tacklejunkie]

hahah,
no wonder your breaking things off that truck already.
Look at that knarly whoop section! wholy cow put some curvature on those woops! lol Looks like your mobbin' a brick straight away with every other brick missing. Maybe the woops need to be broken in more.

Sick pics man. Looks like fun. Used to race electric dirt up in the Delta at Delta RC. Wish I would have been fishing back then! Would have slain some delta fish.

[matt duarte]

hahaha do you need a hug eric...im here for you dude lol...

ya the woop section does need the corners rounded a lil more just so much fun haha blew out a shock...need to put more shock oil in it..we figured the wopps would break them selfs in but my the looks of it they do need to be rounded a lil bit.. the vid ron has and needs to upload is just plan awesome...defently gonna be the best slash vid on youtube.. you should buy a slash TJ! instead of the new heli u were talkin about lol...completley stock you can drive these cars straight into lake perris and back out there completley water proof!...but i already did a lot of mods to mine so im not gonna trust the water proof deal anymore lol

[tacklejunkie]

Eh,
I've done the car thing. Come buy my extra cars so I can buy more heli's.
hehe. Just playin' with ya bro. I'm tapped out for a few. Gotta get off my lazy butt and go to the doctor. I'm sure even with insurance that will run me up in co-pays. That is a bomb diggity track though. I'm jealous. my 1/18th sideyard track just doesn't measure up. :LOL:lol
You should post that full length vid you just sent me.

Eric, you can come over and play with our toys too dude!
You gotta get a simulator before you fly my birds though. Practice is mandatory with these puppies!

[matt duarte]

ok guys as promised heres the promo video! its a lil jumpy cause i belive its still uploading but here ya go check it out!...woulda been better if we had all slashes on the track but batteries were charging and i broke my bell cranks
